Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
In the second entry in the series, pursued by lovesick suitors, Ranma is also under attack - for reasons he doesn't understand - by martial artist Ryoga!
Amazon.com:
With more than 22 million copies of her work in print, Rumiko Takahashi may well be the most popular comics artist in the world, and Ranma 1/2 may be her most popular work yet. Takahashi's best gift might be that of characterization. The situations in this, the second volume of Ranma 1/2 stories, all center around characters who seem fully human because so many subtle character traits are perceptible. Filled with action (this one deals with an ice-skating competition) and balanced with tenderness (a character's embarrassing very first kiss), it's no wonder these stories are so universally loved.

The Ranma 1/2 series is one of the all time best manga series I have ever read! Just the idea of a boy changing into a girl with a splash of cold water sounds fun to read! The characters are unforgetable and hilarios! Ranma has too many fiance's though. ;D
But Ranma 1/2 is a funfilled adventure in Japan with a boy that turns into a little grey pig, a tomboyish girl, and a lot of fighting.
Martial arts is the biggest priority in Ranma 1/2.
So if you want fun, read Ranma 1/2 Author name: Rumiko Takahashi. You'll love it!

Rumiko Takahashi struck comic gold with "Ranma 1/2," the story of a guy who turns into a girl whenever he gets touched with cold water (and you'd be surprised how often that happens). The second volume picks up where the very first left off, and Takahashi was obviously hitting her stride in this series.
Directionally-challenged Ryoga Hibiki makes it to the Tendos' home, and brawls with Ranma out in the yard. Turns out that Ranma accidently knocked Ryoga into a cursed spring -- and now Ryoga turns into a cute grey piglet. As if this grudge weren't enough, Akane adopts the piglet, whom she names "P-chan," which drives Ranma into a frenzy.
Problems continue when Akane is injured before a martial arts gymnastics competition, leaving Ranma (in his female form) to take her place. The only problem is, it's against Kuno's psychotic sister Kodachi -- who loves Ranma as a boy, but loathes him as a girl. No sooner has Ranma dealt with that crisis than another combat challenge pops up: To get Ryoga/P-chan back from a ditzy ice skater, Ranma and Akane will have to learn martial-arts ice-skating. But Ranma's lessons take an unpleasant turn when he gets his very first kiss... from a boy.
The boy-turns-into-girl-when-splashed-with-water shtick sounds like a one-off gimmick. But Takahashi shows new ways to get creative in the second volume of "Ranma 1/2." The stories flow a little faster and a little more smoothly, now that she's introduced the characters and their peculiar problems.
She also starts ideas that continues throughout the series -- sticking the words "martial arts" besides all sorts of activities, and having characters fall into various cursed springs. But she doesn't lose track of the personal relationships, such as various characters competing for Ranma and/or Akane's affections. One comic gem involves siblings Kuno and Kodachi, who are unknowingly competing for the same person in different form.
The characters have also changed a little. Akane no longer loathes all men, and is quickly becoming a good partner for Ranma. Ryoga -- who apparently craves any form of affection -- falls in love with Akane after she cuddles him in his pig form. And obviously Ranma is starting to like Akane -- otherwise, why would he care if she cuddled Ryoga?
The "Ranma 1/2" series took off after the very first volume, when Takahashi stepped up the pace and took her martial-arts-romantic-comedy to new and strange heights.

this book is just as good as the very first book except possibly a little more romance.
by now ranma and akane are always going at each others necks but in the end they always find a way out of the hardest spots.
laugh out loud funny a action/adventure/romance(very little).
not reconmender for younger children(ranma when in female form runs around topless and yes it shows most to all parts)
but any way this is a amazing book and i would recomend it to almost any one at all.
Bye Bye

This is the very first Anime/Manga book I've ever read. It was a pretty good book. I read it though without a break. The storyline was interesting, but I found that it got dry in a few spots occasionally, and made me chuckle a couple times. I am looking forward to reading the sequel tomorrow, to see if the storyline twists, or there is more "action". It was not a disappointing read by any means though.
